Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Philippine Eagle
The national emblem of the Philippines, the Philippine Eagle is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length and wing surface. Without other predators, the eagles are the dominant hunter in the Philippine forests. And, like most eagles, is monogamous. Once paired, a couple remains together for the rest of their lives. They are threatened primarily by deforestation through logging and expanding agriculture. Mining, pollution, exposure to pesticides that affect breeding, and poaching are also major threats. Now critically endangered, killing a Philippine eagle is punishable under Philippine law by 12 years in prison and heavy fines.

At completion of this artwork there were less than 250 Philippine Eagles remaining in the forests.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Hyperrealism

Painting which expresses, by means of representation, external reality in a very realistic way.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
